Are you able to import vinyls from FH5? I get ‘too many files of this type’ but deleting one makes no difference, as often happens with photos in Horizon. I’m wondering if the solution might be to delete everything and then try to re-import.
The long loading times and random ordering were fixed for me in recent updates, but not the rotation bug. I’ll look later to see if that’s now sorted.
I wasn’t able to back in October but I found out what the issue was & managed to bring everything across eventually. It’s a fault with available layer group slots on both games. Forza Horizon has more than Motorsport currently so it wont allow any imports if you have more on Horizon than Motorsport can cope with ( I don’t know what the exact numbers are btw)
What I did was group as many of my decals together on Horizon as I could, ie, all individual decals were put together in catagories like Wheels/Tyres/Suspension/Oils etc. That then freed up enough space for Motorsport to allow imports.
Try it out & see if it works for you.
Btw I’m painting the last car I was having trouble with before I gave up right now & it appears the rotation bug has been fixed.
I think FM has 450 slots, FH5 has 1000, but could be 750.
I had grouped all my FM vinyls together in a similar way to you, to cut down on the total number, but it didn’t change anything. I’d unshared everything but for ten or so with decent numbers of downloads. I think I’ll delete the others and reimport as needed.
For me the excessive loading times in the editor still a thing… what makes the game unplayable.
It does appear some are still having problems with that going off the replies to a post on X I made about it. It’s a bit all over the place & random for many it seems which is a real shame. The loading times were a pain but now they are instant for me.
Only thing that did take a long time was going into My Designs, some of the tiles took forever to appear & that wasn’t even a problem for me before so that’s new. Thankfully it only happens when you 1st load up the game, after that they appear straight away when you go back again.

Thanks for the info 
For me, every time I try to load my vinyl groups and car designs it takes about 5 minutes +, not to mention that when I load all the thumbnails of the designs are blank/transparent. I’ve reported the bug a few times but I’ve lost the will to play Motorsport because of it.
Not to mention the bug of not being able to import anything from Horizon 5 to Motorsport, I’m kind of amazed at how they haven’t solved these problems yet.

Maybe they assume the problem is now solved. It’s so weird how some like me are seeing a fix while others like yourself still can’t even import stuff from FH5. I’m good friends with long time livery creator Koshiro who does excellent work. He’s in the same boat, can’t even get started 10 months after launch.

I don’t believe it. I never had this issue before but now I can’t import full designs over from FH5. I give up…again.

I’ve had issues since day 1. Luckily they have officially logged it today.
Havnt even tried painting on motorsport, second i heard from trusted sources that you are/were able to upload other peoples work as yours I uninstalled, not to mention the crashing and constant save resetting, aswell as infinite loading screens.

Many people reported it at the time and i reported it here on the forum but it is a fact that I, as well as other designers, had several drawings and liveries stolen due to the “bug”, which was a save button in the game interface, only after some time of reporting was something done.
I just want to see in the next Forza where whoever took these drawings and liveries will be shared… it will be a mess.
Just out of interest does anyone know what the file save limit is for liveries on Forza Motorsport compared to Horizon’s total?
I cured the layer group import problem back in November last yr by deleting a lot of single saves on FH5 in favour of grouping them to free up save file space which I thought was the issue. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like that’s the problem for full liveries. I deleted a lot of half done/duplicates from FH5 yesterday but still no luck in importing anything new after this latest issue arose recently for me.
Always one step forward 2 steps back on this game after updates it seems.

As i rebember Forza Horizon 5 limit is 1000 liveries and the Motorsport one should be 750 or 500, if they used the same code as the old motorsport ones I think it is 500 (I could be wrong).
I’ve also tried to group things together to try to transfer them to Motorsport but I couldn’t, and even if it had worked, the fact that it took a long time to load things in Motorsport and the thumbs appearing transparent/blank would still mess everything up.
Found out now as it has the numbers on screen now (don’t remember it being there before).
This is my issue for not being able to bring full liveries over. I have 577 saved on FH5 but only 450 slots are available on the new Motorsport game.
That’s why I was getting the “too many save files” message.
Hopefully the new FH5 system will then allow it once it’s ported over & implemented.

It’s great that they’re going to improve the system 
Playing Motorsport “normally” would be great

I mean “normally” for me is FM4 standards of what we had. Sandbox experience, I spent as many hours in the menus messing about between Storefronts, Auctions, paint & media editor, as I did racing. This is a start at least but there’s a long way to go before we get that kind of immersion & fun back.

FM says I have 440 paint designs on FH5. But I only have about 185 of my own designs in either game. The remaining 255 it says I have in FH5 are other designs I’ve downloaded. They don’t show up for me as being able to import from FH5 to FM, only my designs are available. But if you’ve downloaded other painters’ designs, maybe delete a few of those first? Really dumb that this is a thing, but if you have a large number of other players’ designs then deleting some of those should allow you to import your own work in the meantime.

It’s definitely not an across the board issue, seems to work for some while others still can’t import anything at all, so random. Koshiro is one of the best & longest serving content creators on the game but he’s not been able to import since day 1 & still can’t. Must be so frustrating for him & others who can’t, just hope it gets sorted soon for everyone as it’s ruining the what we do & stopping many from promoting the game by showing what can be done with it in the editor.
